I can't see us trading a valuable asset this winter. We are poised to be the favorites next year. Our biggest need is the pen, and you don't trade Bogey, Porcello or JBJ for a pen arm.
-
I like the idea of the best hitter batting second. I'd like to see Bogey 3rd and JD 4th. Devers can bat 5th or the 1B platoon.
-
I wouldn't count anything Kelly gives us going forward as part of the trade. Signing him is a separate acquisition.
-
I haven't heard anything.
-
Brewers? Braves?
-
Proves nothing. We aren't trading Porcello, JBJ or Bogey. We wouldn't have signed Eovaldi, if we were looking to rebuild. This is just attention getting.
-
Fake news.
-
That's one reason I thought the deal would be doubtful.
-
I doubt we have enough budget space for both. Both will likely get 3 or more years.
-
Sounds like a trade is a certainty.
-
I would not sign Cervelli to a 1 year $11.5M contract, so why should we trade anyone for him without some salary relief?
-
There's no way this deal involves Syndergaard, unless some other major pieces are added.
-
I would think there would have to be some salary relief as part of any deal. I'm not sure Pitt wants to pay cash, and I doubt this deal would work: Nunez ($5M), Swihart & PTBNL for Cervelli ($11.5M) Then, maybe add a 2Bman rule 5 or roll the dice with Pedey, Holt, Lin and Hernandez. (Nunez + Vaz would come close to evening out the money.)

It's a 4 or 5 year window: 2016-2019 or 2020/
-
Again, I'm not disagreeing with you on DD's impressive rebuild and long run at being competitive. I just felt like your claim that he made them a contender in 2 years was not true. It took 4 years. The team was then competitive for 7 of 9 years, which is a great and long stretch, before they hit a cliff.
-
It's not happening, and you know it. Fans getting high on their team's prospects is nothing new. I'm sure DD is not counting on anything from those 4 in 2019.
-
Certainly, they all show promise, and I'd love for one or two of them to rise quickly and win a significant role within a year or two, but none are nationally ranked. I realize many players make good who are never ranked, but I find it hard to get overly optimistic about any of our pitching prospects. The ones I like the most are in single A.
-
If you never signed any pitcher because of one bad year out of the last 5, there might not be anybody left.
-
Maybe, but maybe DD likes Chandler more, and we will sign someone soon.
-
It was already cheapened, but now it's a comedy.
-
That was amazing, but they went from 66 to 55 to 43 in his first 2 years. I'm not sure why that doesn't count. I see it as him taking 4 years to get to great. That's pretty good, too. I think he did an impressive job with the Tigers. The owner wanted him to get the team to win it all. He wanted a win now strategy, and DD got it for him. The Tigers were good for 7 of 9 years. That's better than the Sox last 9 years.
-
I never said it wasn't impressive. Being competitive in 7 out of 9 years is impressive, but he did take 4 years not 2 to get the team on track. That's not bad, but you said 2 years. I have no issues with DD. He's been a very good GM and maybe even great.
-
MLBTR projects an equal contract with Andrew Miller ($9M x 3 years).
-
I agree. and though I have not given up on either one, I would not bet on them having a plus career going forward. I think Velazquez has the better chance, but I think his best role might be a 2-3 inning middle guy.
-
...and that second half was just 168 PAs. It would be nice to see him get a chance at 400 PAs, but I just don't see it happening here. Even if we have a major cathcer injury, I'd bet we trade for someone rather than let Swihart play FT.
